7 UT 2003 Movies From The Leaked Demo!

Published by NewsFactory 0

Just saw this @ Thedigitalresource.com

Everyone must have heard by now that there is a Unreal Tournament 2003 demo leaked floating around on the net. Though it's pretty hard to find, we at The Digital Resource got ourselves the demo! The demo is about 247 Mb to download and installed it eats about 465 Mb of your disk space. But it's worth it. Oh yeah.

You probably have seen various screenshots from it (Like the ones we had here in a previous post) or even a movie. Now I want to take that a step further. I wanted to give those who were unfortunate enough to not have the demo, have an eclusive view of what it has to offer. So, I made a video of each map (7 maps in total) and uploaded it for your viewing pleasure. I also tweaked the u2.ini file and made very high res screenshots from the game (1280x1024x32, every detail at high) So you can associate them with the movies, which are of poorer quality to make the file size acceptable. Now. let's have a look at the maps shall we?

A leaked early test version of UT2003!

Published by NewsFactory 2

After last nights UT 2003 Demo leak! Here's what Mark Rein from Epic Games Inc had to say about it on the Epic Messagesboards .

leaked early test version of UT2003 is floating around the internet. It is not representative of the quality or performance of the final game. Infogrames' job in situations like these is to go after the people who are leaking or passing-along this version. They also need to suppress conversations about the leaked version on web forums to avoid pointing at it and tempting innocent people, who normally don't traffic in stolen software, to download it to find out what people are talking about. Their duty to their shareholders is to protect the value and marketability of their products to the fullest extent possible. They HAVE to do that, they're a public company and their shareholders would expect no less because Infogrames is invests a lot of money to bring games like UT2003 to the marketplace.

I wanted to address a few of related comments I saw on this forum.

UT 2003 UNOFFICIAL leaked Demo Screenshots and Info!

Published by NewsFactory 1

I was just over @Thedigitalresource.com and guess what I saw a bucket load of screenshots and Info of last nights UT 2003 leaked Demo! Here's a byte from their article.

That's right, some dude leaked this thing on the net. It is currently floating around various FTP adresses. It's a 247 Mb download and there are still some bugs in it like invisible walls and textures that appear white sometimes. Also the models don't have proper skins yet. Though it's nice to test it, I suggest you wait for the official release which shouldn't take too long now.The demo doesn't support any resolution changes, though editing the ut2.ini file makes it possible anyway, along with some other options like high res textures and the controls, which aren't redefinable in the game menu itself. You can play 7 maps in the game (2 CTF, 3 DM and 2 DOM maps) And I must say they look incredible! lights, shadows, models, fog effect. Everything is looking good and there are a lot of little details.

Ok peeps - Yes it's TRUE. Some muppet has leaked the full UT2003 demo which is 238Mbyte and no we will not be posting links to it coz Rancho said he would kill me and by the look in his eyes I think he means it. LoL : (

Here's a word of warning from Ibelite.com Thank you for your bug report for this old, obsolete and PIRATED version of UT2003. We have recorded your IP address. Have a nice day.

The demo is also not working with Kyro II video board, which was the the reason for the bug report.
